Win It: DT Systems Super Pro Launcher! - 12
by Brian Lynn
Hand-held dummy launchers are invaluable training devices, especially if you often train by yourself. Now you have the opportunity to win one! In advance of the DT Systems seminar with George Hickox and Dan Ihrke, DT Systems has donated a Super Pro Launcher to The Gun Dogs blog! All you have to do is post a question about training bird dogs, retrievers, e-collars or other dog-related issues and you're automatically entered to win! As of right now, TigerRebel has a monopoly on the entries, and has a very good question to boot, but hopefully that changes with this incentive. Make sure your profile info is up to date or that you can check back after the seminar to see if you won and give us your mailing info. I'll be attending the seminar on Oct. 23 and 24. Get your questions in for the pros ASAP! I hope to make this a bit of a virtual classroom and allow you the opportunity to participate and learn from these two great pros. C'mon Gun Doggers, post up some questions!

I have a female German Shorthaired Pointer. She is 3 years old. I'm having a hard time getting her to stay on point. She will point quickly but then she will chase and flush right after; she will not stay on the point. I have used the "whoa" command on her and it works when we are not hunting. However, I cannot stop her when we hunt. It's like she gets in another zone when she sees the bird. I have tried everything. I have a shock collar that I can use on her. What can I do to keep her on point the entire time when she finds a bird?
I have two female chocolate labs. One is eight years old and the other is one. I am wondering how I can get my one year old to retrieve pheasants. She will retrieve any dummy or ball you throw to her and has watched my eight year old lab retrieve pheasants but she will not pick a one up herself. She we go to where it landed and keep it there but won't pick it up. What can i do to make her retrieve?
I have a 5 year old black lab and he love's to run and of course hunt. He has one big problem though while pheasant hunting he doe's real well until he spook's a deer. so how can i get him to stop chasing them ? Is there such a cure. thank's in advanced hunter 6.
How old should a dog be before introduction to gun?

Would you recommend using a beeper on a young dog that hasn't had that much time in the field if you're hunting in high cover?
I am training a 5 month old wirehair, she is sometimes reluctant to come back in when called. Too distracted or interested in the smells around her, and driven to hunt. Is this too young to introduce an ecollar with paging, not stimulation?
How can you get a one year old lab/retreiver mix give the toy back. So it will give up a bird instead of eating it after the shot.
My eight month old lab fetches three or four times very well, but then she stops picking it up. Am I asking too much from her? How can I get her to fetch more?
I have a 1 1/2 year old balck lab that I would like to take pheasant hunting this year. We take her for two walks a day, throw the ball for her, and now I take her for a one mile run along side my bike. She still seems to have very little endurance. Is it possible she has a physical problem, or should we just keep pushing her to get stronger?
Hey everyone. Just got back home after the seminar. I have answers for y'all and lots of blog material on everything from clicker training to canine psychology to punishment/reward to the best kind of treats to use! I'll also announce the winner of the Super Launcher as soon as I get everything lined up! Thanks for your patience and questions! --Brian
What's the best way to take care of a dog who has tangled with a porcupine? Those quills are just deadly.
